Hotfix installation instructions for AhsayCBS on Windows/Linux OS
-
Download the required hotfix directly provided to you or from the Hotfix Release History page: (v7 | v8 | v9)
Examples:
- cbs-win-hotfix-task12345.zip
- cbs-win-v830999.zip
- cbs-nix-v9720.zip
-
Unzip the downloaded ZIP package to a temporary directory. The contents will only include relevant files necessary for the hotfix, it will not contain files that are expected to already be on your server.
Example: Unzipped contains directories build, download, java, lib, webapps
The contents of hotfix ZIP are subject to change and directories may differ than listed in this article. -
Create a rollback copy of those directories before applying the hotfix.
Based on the directories you unzipped in step 2, create a duplicate of those current directories found in your AhsayCBS installation home (i.e. "C:\Program Files\AhsayCBS" or "/usr/local/cbs"). For identification, we recommend you append suffix of ".{version#}" for your current AhsayCBS version, to the copied directory name.
Example, your AhsayCBS is currently v8.3.0.30, you will create a copy of those directories the hotfix will overwrite:
-
Copy "C:\Program Files\AhsayCBS\build" to "C:\Program Files\AhsayCBS\build.83030"
-
Copy "C:\Program Files\AhsayCBS\download" to "C:\Program Files\AhsayCBS\download.83030"
-
Copy "C:\Program Files\AhsayCBS\java" to "C:\Program Files\AhsayCBS\java.83030"

Copy "C:\Program Files\AhsayCBS\lib" to "C:\Program Files\AhsayCBS\lib.83030"
-
Copy "C:\Program Files\AhsayCBS\webapps" to "C:\Program Files\AhsayCBS\webapps.83030"

For the hotfix version you will download, create a sub-directory within the temporary directory.

Before shutting down AhsayCBS and installing the hotfix, verify that there are no active jobs.
Login to AhsayCBS Web Console, click Live Activities. - (Optional)) It is good practice to disable AUA (via AhsayCBS UI) for each user before updating AhsayCBS.

- Click the Stop button on Backup Server > Server Status page in the "NFS Service" section.

Grant write permission for the related AhsayCBS server files:
mount -uw /ubs/mnt/esfmfw
-
For each unzipped hotfix directory, create a rollback copy of your current AhsayCBS directories before applying the hotfix.
Based on the directories unzipped from step 7, create a duplicate of those current directories found in your AhsayCBS installation home (i.e. "/ubs/mnt/esfmfw/obsr/system/obsr/"). For identification, we recommend you append suffix of ".{version#}" for your current AhsayCBS version, to the copied directory name.
Example, your AhsayCBS is currently v8.3.0.30, you will create a complete copy of those directories the hotfix will overwrite. In the below example, we are writing to /ubs/mnt/eslsfw.
cp -R /ubs/mnt/esfmfw/obsr/system/obsr/build "/ubs/mnt/eslsfw/obsr/HOTFIX/build.83030" cp -R /ubs/mnt/esfmfw/obsr/system/obsr/lib "/ubs/mnt/eslsfw/obsr/HOTFIX/lib.83030" cp -R /ubs/mnt/esfmfw/obsr/system/obsr/webapps "/ubs/mnt/eslsfw/obsr/HOTFIX/webapps.83030"
The contents of hotfix ZIP are subject to change and directories may differ than listed in this article. -
To install the hotfix, copy the hotfix files to the correct location.
Example:
cp -Rfvp /ubs/mnt/eslsfw/obsr/HOTFIX/HF9851/ /ubs/mnt/esfmfw/obsr/system/obsr
You should not install a hotfix version lower than your current AhsayCBS version. - Reboot the AhsayUBS machine afterwards via the AhsayUBS admin web console.
- Once AhsayUBS has booted, return to the AhsayUBS admin web console and Disable SSH.
-
Check if AhsayCBS Service has started. If not running, click on Start.
Check the Status on Backup Server > Server Status page. - Login to your AhsayCBS web management console and go to System Settings > License > Update License to verify the Product Version.
-
If you need to reclaim space and have no further need for the rollback copies, you can remove the temporary directory afterward:
rm -fr /ubs/mnt/eslsfw/obsr/HOTFIX/
Before you deploy newer AhsayUBS image, you should remove this temporary directory.
